Patient's question:
The leukorrhea is red, and the amount during menstruation has also decreased. It has been ongoing but not very heavy, and can be managed with sanitary pads.Previous treatment and effectiveness: I had a gynecological examination at the hospital and was told it might be uterine bleeding. I took some medication, which caused stomach pain, but it didn’t go away.
What kind of help is desired: I want to consult whether uterine bleeding could be the cause of these symptoms?
Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of your condition, it seems you have been experiencing irregular menstruation for a long time. In recent months, your leukorrhea has been reddish, and your menstrual flow has decreased, being neither completely clean nor excessively heavy—just enough to require sanitary pads. It is likely that inflammation of the uterus or ovaries has caused the breakdown of the skin and menstrual irregularity. It is also possible that hormonal imbalance, particularly in sex hormones, is contributing to this. I recommend that you have your sex hormone levels tested at a hospital. Once you have the test results, you can take medication that is specifically tailored to your condition for better effectiveness.
